Out Of Jail

Mar 21, 2023

Puzzler time! 

This one is short. It is sort of automotive in nature. Quasi-automotive, as we call them on the show. Just because it involves a car... But that's it. It isn't about the car, it just has a car in it. 

Anyway, here goes. 

This is very brief. Here it is.

A man gets out of jail. upon his release from jail, he pushes his car to a hotel. He then gives the owner of the hotel a large sum of money. 

A short time later, he pushes his car to a house. Then he gives the owner of the house a somewhat smaller amount of money. 

The puzzler is, what is going on here? Why is he pushing his car to different places and giving people money?

So that is the puzzler. Quasi-automotive because he is pushing a car. Pretty deep stuff, huh?

Good luck everyone.
 

Answer: 

Okay, it is time for the answer to this little puzzler. 

This is clever. 

Guy gets out of jail, he then pushes his car to a hotel and give the owner a large sum of money.

Then a little while later, he pushes his car to a house and gives the owner a somewhat smaller sum of money. 

What is going on here?

Well it is really simple and sneaky, actually. And we struggled with this one for weeks, trying to find the answer. 

So, the answer is, this man is playing Monopoly... He got out of jail, and moved his piece to a hotel and a house and had to pay the other players. And his piece is the car! 

Ha!
